OnePlus is reportedly planning the launch of its new flagship series at some point around March end or beginning of April. Besides the OnePlus 8 series, the company is also planning a number of accessories to go along with the smartphone, with one of them being a Power Bank. OnePlus branded Power Bank is ready to roll out soon if a recent tweet by CEO Carl Pei is to be believed. Recently, Pei posted a tweet asking people whether they would like to see a fast-charging Power Bank. The tweet indicates that the Chinese phone maker will launch a OnePlus Power Bank and that too, with fast charging technology. Of course, Pei didn’t reveal any specific details as to when the accessory will be launched.
OnePlus Power Bank With Fast Charging Support in the Pipeline
OnePlus launched a Power Bank back in 2015, but for some unknown reasons, the company discontinued making them. However, with wired fast charging becoming a trend in the smartphone market, it seems like the Chinese smartphone maker is all set to come out with a new Power Bank that will also offer support for fast charging. That said, OnePlus did not reveal whether its Power Bank will have wireless charging feature or not.
OnePlus is also planning to bring wireless charging to its new series of smartphones. Previously, OnePlus became a member of Wireless Power Consortium and it is likely the next-gen OnePlus 8 devices will be the first one to bring Qi wireless charging technology. Meanwhile, speculations about the OnePlus 8 smartphone continue to swirl. The latest of the leaks reveal that the OnePlus 8 launch has been preponed by the phone maker. The OnePlus 8 series is likely to be revealed around MWC 2020 and launch officially by March-end or April.
OnePlus 8 Series to Have 3 Models
OnePlus may also announce three new models for its 2020 flagship lineup. The OnePlus series will come up with two new Lite and Pro models besides the regular OnePlus 8. It will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865 chips and feature RAM from 6GB to 12GB and storage from 128GB to 256GB. By running on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 865 chips, the upcoming phones will be 5G equipped by default. The smartphones will also bring wireless charging and Android 10 operating system.
